Bullet them in the order you will need to consider them. Once you are done, start to work out an action plan for completing them, including personalised deadlines. Then make a start!
‘Planning planning’ Action plan...
After your ‘Planning Preparation’ notes, create a new heading saying ‘Planning Action Plan’
You should have bulleted the planning docs in the order you will need to consider them. You should have also started to work out an action plan for completing them, including personalised deadlines.
If you haven't, spend 2 minutes doing this now…
Then, spend the time creating an (ongoing) action plan for planning. This should include short term and long term targets.
For example…
Short term, as a result of my research, one of the style models I used for my deconstructions was not suitable >reason<. I need to immediately replace this with >new text< as a result and must buy the newest issue.
Medium term, I will need to cast a >something< for my soft drink advert, To fit the representation of my narrative, I need to hold auditions for a male/female/old/young/tall/short/cat/dog.
WEEK 3 (bridge)
Learning Aim:
One: Investigate three real-world media texts - use the instructions and deconstruction Task sheet link. Ensure you create a Critical Investigation question, and a possible Linked Production idea for each direction.
Two: Spend some time assessing these three ideas. You need to assess your ideas for range, depth, possibility, realism, practicality, and relevance to the media landscape. It can not be an idea that has been done too often before or that isn't concerned with a contemporary issue. Once you have decided, complete the MEST4 Proposal form here so that we can check that it's okay.
Three: Start to compile some serious primary research to use as specific style models that your linked production will copy. These should be detailed, sophisticated analysis of texts relevant to your area of study.
